[PATCH 1/3] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: remove pte entry from the page table

From: Pasha Tatashin
Date: Wed Jan 19 2022 - 23:25:23 EST


The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.

The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:

CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y

During the boot the following BUG is printed:

[ 7.483050][ T1] debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable ]:
Validating architecture page tabs
[ 7.490930][ T1] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 7.494926][ T1] kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:194!
[ 7.499172][ T1] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

[ 7.508600][ T1] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX,
...

The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page
is released to the free list.

Fixes: a5c3b9ffb0f4 ("mm/debug_vm_pgtable: add tests validating advanced arch page table helpers")
